2:15 - 3:00 The Legacy of Computer Science
Gerald Jay Sussman, FSF Board Member
Matsushita Professor of Electrical Engineering
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
We have witnessed and participated in great advances, in
transportation, in computation, in communication, and in
biotechnology. But the advances that look like giant
steps to us will pale into insignificance by contrast to
the even bigger steps in the future. Prof. Sussman will
present and defend his viewpoint that Computer Science is
not a science, and its ultimate significance has little to
do with computers. The computer revolution is a
revolution in the way we think and in the way we express
what we think.
